In the drawings, A, denotes a candlestick of which, a, is the candlesocket and b, the dish or supporter. From the bottom of the said dish,a. metallic arm or strut extends as shown in the figure, while from theedge of the dish, a spring hook C, is projected directly over thestrutthe outer end of the hook being pointed and bent down at or aboutat a right angle to the remainder of the hook.

Fig. 2, represents the mode of applying the said candle-stick to awindow sash bar. In the said figure D, denotes the bar, while E, E, arethe panes of glass. The end of the strut B being placed against thepane, E, the spring hook, C, is to be raised and its point forced downinto the bar, D.
